About EscapeVR: The Basement
EscapeVR: The Basement is an 'Escape The Room' genre game which was inspired by real-life escape games and designed from the ground up as a room-scale virtual reality experience for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch (360° setup), and Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets.
You find yourself locked in the cell of an unknown basement with nothing else than a bed, a toilet, and some dishes. Can you escape? Explore the environment, solve puzzles, discover useful items, investigate clues, and find your way through a total of seven rooms in three areas to -hopefully- escape the basement of this VR escape room game!
"… I loved this game. So far this is my favorite VR escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. It's short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! …"

Short, easy, but fun. I love the ideas.1 found this helpful
Pros - cheap; good hints Cons - stupid start (turn round!); requires excessive reaching; poor moving (teleporting is awkward and should use thumbstick); short; save only after puzzle completed
Boring. It does not start unless I block it in the firewall.
Extremely brief and dare I say amateurish, but it has some good ideas (and bad ones) and you can't really be angry at it for the price.
Very few simple puzzles, not worth the asking price of $9
Very basic escape room. 45 mins if you explore it all. Nothing really bad to say about it but nothing much good either. Would be great for beginners. 5/10
